Publisher Description
Alexander Tulloch effortlessly evokes life in Liverpool from 1945 to 1962, when he was growing up with his parents, sister and grandparents in a small terraced house in Aintree. Without overdosing on sentimentality he conjures up a world, to today's children as alien as Victorian England, in which all adults seemed to smoke for England, a pint of beer cost a few pence, where frost painted patterns on the inside of the windows every winter, where 'lav' was a trek across the yard, and where you always went on holiday to Llandudno - an exciting 60 miles away.Accompanies by an atmospheric selection of photographs, Alexander Tulloch's gentle reminiscences will be enjoyed by anyone who grew up in this era, whether in Liverpool or elsewhere.
